There were pendants under the lanterns that were filled with wax. When the wind was strong, they would only sway slightly.
The people removing the snow used the light to chat. Even the adults liked the feeling of huddling together for warmth.
After today's victory, and with so many elite soldiers, they did not feel tired working together.
"Wild geese, in the sky, in a row, the autumn grass is yellow …"
Some people hummed a song as they went to the stables to feed the horses. There were also people in charge of the sheep pens.
The city walls and the houses in the city blocked a lot of the wind. The lanterns in the stables were fixed with ropes.
"Eat, eat, eat more grass, you'll get fat."
The people feeding the horses put grass in the manger and mumbled, hoping that the horses would be happy.
Whether it was the new horses or the original horses, they all wanted to eat. Even the injured horses endured the pain and ate until they were full.
Injured horses would usually be given beans. Fried bean powder increased protein and was good for wound recovery.
Horses that were too heavily injured were already given a satisfying meal.
The sheep in the sheep pens were more sensitive to the weather than humans. They knew the current situation and were very obedient.
Give them some grass and they ate silently, not shouting loudly.
However, the injured captives who were temporarily alive groaned and wailed in pain.
After a batch of snow was cleared, everyone waited for a while to continue to clean up. The Yulin Royal Cavalry took things to the place where the captives and wounded were.
The captives had their wounds stitched up. The stitched area was actually more painful than the wound.
If it was not stitched up, it would not be a problem of pain. It might be better now, but after a day, the wound would start to leak fluids.
Whether the temperature was high or low, there was a possibility of infection. Cold temperatures could cause frostbite.
As soon as the Winged Knights appeared, the captives who were groaning and wailing immediately stopped and looked at the Winged Knights with frightened eyes.
The Winged Knights spread out, checked the wounds, and felt the temperature of the captives.
"Don't worry, there's no infection. You won't die under normal circumstances. I'll change your bandages tomorrow morning.
You have a fever due to stress, so you don't need to cool down physically. Drink more water.
Don't press on the wound when you sleep. Don't move too much. If you move too much, it will increase muscle movement and secrete fluids. "
A Winged Knights looked at the captive's wound and patiently said to him.
"It hurts. I can't sleep at all. I vomit every time I eat. Can I still live?"
The wounded looked at the Winged Knights like a sick person looking at a doctor, hoping that the Winged Knights would give them a definite answer.
Featherwood Flying Cavalry took out something from his bag, which was the size of an ink stick.
He pulled out his tactical saber and twirled it in his hand.
"I'm not in pain anymore. I won't make a sound. I'll sleep immediately. I'm asleep."
The captive was afraid. He closed his eyes and said, "No, it doesn't hurt at all."
"I'll give you some medicine. I won't kill you."
As the Winged Knights spoke, they found a blanket for the captives to drink and used a knife to scrape powder from the ink stick.
After scraping a few times, he scooped some water from the pot that had been boiling and poured it into a cup. Army Knife stirred the water a few times.
"Blow on it. If it's not hot, drink it." The Winged Knights passed the cup over.
The other Winged Knights operated in a similar manner. They were all made of ink, and the ink looked more like coal essence.
Coal essence was not amber. In Li Yi's time, it was valuable and could be used as a material for art.
The wounded man who had closed his eyes earlier drank one-third of the water. His leg was injured. He looked at his leg and raised his arm to wipe the sweat off.
"Are you hot?" The Winged Knights asked.
"Yes, my stomach is hot," the wounded man replied.
"I'm asking … do you feel warm in your stomach? It's not the warmth from drinking hot water, "the Winged Knights asked again.
"Then what's the warmth?" The wounded man did not understand.
After a while, he felt something new. "The warmth from drinking horse milk. It doesn't hurt as much. It's just a little … how do I put it …"
"Is it the excitement of riding a horse and running a few hundred meters and getting faster and faster?"
The Winged Knights thought about it and gave a comparison.
"Yes, it hurts less now. It's a miracle medicine! What kind of medicine is this? "
The captive realized that his stomach was warm and he did not feel hungry anymore. Then, he felt comfortable all over. The wound did not seem to hurt as much.
"Continue to drink water. The medicine is working. Tomorrow morning, change your bandages and take this medicine. Then, eat your meal. "
The Winged Knights did not answer. He only gave medical advice. He could not say anything.
The black block was made from opium poppy. It was thick, dried, and preserved.
To put it bluntly, it was opium paste. When it was baked, it would be like a paste. When it was not baked, it would be as hard as asphalt in winter.
If one ate it on an empty stomach, it would be absorbed quickly. If one ate too much, they would feel stimulated. There would be no pain, no sleepiness, no hunger, and more energy …
The Winged Knights' standard medicine, but they had never used it. They had tried to eat it before, so they had to understand the reaction.
"It's the miracle medicine from the Li Family Zhuangzi, right?" The captive's eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Drink water and increase your metabolism. If you can't sleep, count sheep. One sheep, two sheep, until … until ten. If you're sleepy, don't count anymore."
The Winged Knights wanted to count to ten thousand, but he was afraid that the captive would be sleepy when he counted to a thousand. He forced himself to count and even touched his wound to wake himself up.
He might as well count to ten and start from the beginning. If he was sleepy, stop counting and go to sleep.
"I understand what you mean. I'm not stupid. I don't need to count to ten. I'll keep counting and I'll fall asleep."
The captive felt insulted. Do you think I'm stupid?
"I'm sorry!" The Winged Knights nodded and turned to the next patient.
He had just taken two steps when the patient's voice came from behind. "Excuse me, how do you count after a thousand?"
"Count from the head." The Winged Knights staggered and gave the answer. He almost fell down.
"Thank you!" The patient thanked him sincerely.
"You're welcome!" The Winged Knights quickened his pace.
The opium was good. After a round of feeding the patient, the moaning stopped and the sound of counting sheep and groaning could be heard.
…
The sky was bright, and the snow stopped.
The people who took turns to rest stewed horse meat soup and put in dried scallions and coriander.
There was no wheaten food, including highland barley noodles. It was rice cooked with japonica rice and oily salted duck eggs.
Pirunuhan came to Jia Guixing again. "We'll deal with the goat and mare milk we saved today. We'll make cheese with goat milk.
Mare milk can also be used to make cheese, but it takes a lot to make it. It's not easy to dry, so it's better to make wine.
We usually eat highland barley, but we're happy today, so we cooked the japonica rice sent from other places. "
"What do you do after eating?" Jia Guixing did not care about what he ate, as long as he could eat.
"Classes! We stopped classes two days ago because of the war. Now it's peaceful, so we have to study, mainly learning how to write the characters of the Tang dynasty. "
Pirunuhan took a leather bag from the side. The bag was made of pure leather and handmade.
"Do you have a pen and ink?" Jia Guixing had just arrived and was not clear about the situation.
"Yes! There are also colored pens, which can be used to draw beautiful pictures. I know where you're going to ask. The Tang dynasty's Chaotian Fund gave it to us, so we won't betray the Tang dynasty. "
Pirunuhan patted his schoolbag and said happily.
